That was also accomplished. For this I am thankful to many people, first of all my family, my childhood coach Tarak Sinha ji… Madan Sharma ji, under whom I learned cricket.
After playing in Team India, I got the love of you fans. But as they say, it is necessary to turn the pages to move forward in the story. I am going to do just that. As I end this chapter of my cricket journey, I am taking with me countless memories and gratitude. Thank you for the love and support! Jai Hind…
